Special Baby Headband

I made my daughter's baby blessing headband. She had a gorgeous white dress to wear and I wanted an equally beautiful headband.

The rose I made from Dupioni silk using a pattern from Snazzie Drawers on Etsy.

I also hand sewed Russian Netting (pictured left) and Lace (pictured right). I added feathers, one pearl and two glass crystals. The pearl and crystals I clustered together right to the side of the dupioni silk rose to add some sparkle.

The headband went BEAUTIFULLY with the dress.

I love that what I had in my head was able to come out and become a delicate, beautiful headband! I am SO pleased! This is something that my daughter will be able to keep as a keepsake and put with her blessing dress and know that her Mommy made it special for her!

About Me

I am wife and mother to four beautiful children with one already waiting for us in heaven. I love to paint furniture, reupholster projects, design rooms, build benches, sew a little, cook a little, fix up the old or make something new out of it. I try to think outside the box.Some of my favorite projects turned out differently than planned. I enjoy creating and love it even more when my children help me with my projects. They are my best helpers.

CREATE

You may think you don’t have talents, but that is a false assumption, for we all have talents and gifts, every one of us. The bounds of creativity extend far beyond the limits of a canvas or a sheet of paper and do not require a brush, a pen, or the keys of a piano. Creation means bringing into existence something that did not exist before—colorful gardens, harmonious homes, family memories, flowing laughter.
